As one of Doha's newer districts, the area is well-planned and was laid out according to a strict grid pattern. City authorities first planned the district in the 1990s, and since then it has grown at a fast rate. It is primarily a residential district, with Qataris and Arab expatriates being the most common groups to reside here. Doha's road system is well-connected to the area, with important roads such as the E Ring Road, F Ring Road and Al Matar Street running through it. Furthermore, it is close to Hamad International Airport.[7]
